  Speaking of which, anyone who's lucky enough to go to the
Developer's Conference - could you find time to give a report to us
non-lucky plebs on what's hot, what's not (assuming you're not under
non-disclosure of course :-)  ).

Evan,

I only got to go for one day but I still had fun. The day I went they talked
about the New MPW 3.2, MacTCP 1.1 and hypercard. Also ASDP,PPC,Commtoolbox and
apple events. PPC is going to be the wave of the future I think. 

Some real cool things:
	Tool Server for mpw. 
 	  This allows MPW to have Tools execute on other macs.
	  The example they showed was having MPW compile the code for the 
	  the toolserver on three fx's that was started on an lc.

	New version of MacTCP. This doesent fix every thing but it is a much
	needed release. To bad its still not available.

	SourceBug. A great source level debugger.

	
I missed the Usenetters dinner on tues night. I was there to meet them at 7:30
but no one was outside. Oh well. 


Thats about all my feeble mind can remember at this point. Wait until
monday to get a better picture of the whole event. I only went Wed.

Matt.

Umm... were you at the front door?  At 7:30 we were a large herd of about
60 some people blocking the doors :).

It was fun, and if my pictures come out OK, I'll have to digitize them and
post them for FTP somewhere.  We definitely need to make this a tradition...
